About 'Lil Old MeAbout 'Lil Old Me

Two parts geek, one part nerd & professional cat herder.

HELLO, I'M JOSEPH.

Accomplished Professional Scrum Master & Project Manager with documented success in planning, estimating and organizing the overall implementation of assigned projects, including the recovery of “distressed” projects.

I have a simple philosophy:

Not only do I believe that we should deliver a successful project, but we should help the people involved in the project grow both personally & professionally.

By finding ways to engage and support the individuals who will be doing the work on a project you allow both them and the organization to form sound project management habits that keep delivering results over a lifetime.
